A Tulsa man was arrested on allegations he assaulted and raped a woman late Saturday.
Richard Thompson, 52, was booked into the Tulsa Jail Sunday on rape by force, forcible sodomy, domestic strangulation and domestic assault and battery complaints, jail records show.
Tulsa police arrived at a residence in the 3800 block of East 28th Street just before 11 p.m. after a 44-year-old woman reported that she had been raped and assaulted, an arrest report said.
The victim told police that Thompson allegedly demanded she have sex with him, the report said.
When she refused, the woman said Thompson "became violent and threw her to the ground" before removing her clothing and forcing her to engage in oral sex, said the report.
During the struggle, the victim said she bit Thompson's genitals in an effort to stop the attack, according to the report.
Thompson then raped the woman as he repeatedly punched her in the head, face and body, police said.
The report detailed the woman featured injuries consistent with being strangled. Officers at the scene observed she also fashioned "a black eye, bruised face, swelling on her head and a busted lip."
Police said Thompson sustained bite marks to his genitals where he was bitten by the victim.
He remains in the Tulsa Jail in lieu of $130,000 bond.
